Plants running the TotalPlant™ Solution (TPS) system need to avoid obsolescence by employing modern technology. TPS, introduced in 1998, helped establish open plant automation with a host of advanced applications. However, its users are now dealing with compliance issues related to new safety regulations as well as increasing system support challenges. With Experion LCN, existing control strategy, field terminations, applications, history, and graphics can be retained, allowing users to focus on high-value improvements. It minimizes operating disruptions, maintains overall consistency, and delivers optional lifecycle advantages with virtualization. It also opens the door to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) by Honeywell, an approach that connects people to assets, automates predictive analytics and enables increased collaboration.​
